Could we find more descriptive names to replace those __ prefixes?
drm_gem_shmem_free_pages(), drm_gem_shmem_drop_pages()?

Maybe drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_no_lock_check()? But honestly, I'm not
sure we want to make it a function since it's only going to be needed in
drm_gem_shmem_free(). I think we can just inline

	if (refcount_dec_and_test(&shmem->pages_use_count))
		__drm_gem_shmem_release_pages(shmem);

there.
